Smart Sensors and Electronics Systems Branch (LCS)

Smart Sensors and Electronics Systems Branch (LCS)

Developing Smart Systems for Air & Space

The Smart Sensors and Electronics Systems Branch conducts research and development of adaptable instrumentation, which incorporates electronics as necessary to enable intelligent measurement systems for ongoing and future aerospace propulsion and space exploration programs.

Emphasis is on smart sensors and electronics systems with improved performance and capabilities that can operate at high temperature or in extreme environments and for safety, security, surveillance, diagnostic health monitoring, and control functions.

The Branch is equipped to fabricate smart sensors and electronics systems in micro/nano scales. Facilities include crystal growth laboratories, cleanrooms for sensor and device microfabrication, and laboratories for packaging, test, evaluation, and reliability studies of sensors and electronic devices.
